magic&buddy Posted October 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2007 We will be in Grand Cayman on Nov. 8th from 7 am - 4 pm - Ideally we would like to do the following......... 1) The Trolley Tour 10 am - 11 am thru Carnival 2) Go see Hell 3) Some souvenier shopping 4) A few hours on the beach Is all of this feasible to do in the time we are their? Can we get a taxi to Hell first thing in the morning, have them wait and bring us back for the Trolley. We need help - i can't seem to get a handle on how far places are from each other?

fireboat Posted October 8, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2007 We did an island tour/stingray trip. We had time to shop before and after. I think we were in port for the same time. I don't know about the trolley tour but some of the island tours with the independent operators offer you the option to be dropped at the beach. Taxi offer a fixed per person price to hell.

Buckeye Geo Posted October 8, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hell is no more then a 30 minute stop. It consists of a viewing area to look at some black coral formation, a post office to send a card from Hell and a gift shop. My advice is swim with the Stingrays a thrill of a life time.

cruiserbryce Posted October 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2007 as long as your time on the beach is flexible, and assuming you'll be in port for a reasonable amount of time then you can likely work this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cruiser Posted October 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2007 We took the Grand Cayman Island tour (through Carnival) - about 2.5 hours. We saw some general sites (Governor's house, etc), stopped at Hell (30 minutes), went to the turtle farm (an hour) and Tortuga Rum Company (30 minutes). It was inexpensive, we had a great tour guide, it was a small van (8 people), and a lot of fun. We had plenty of time to get lunch in town and shop, actually got back to the ship early and never felt hurried or that we missed anything. One thing to remember about Stingray City - you're NOT the only ship in port. We heard from people on our ship that it was MOBBED because there were seven ships in port when we were there.

caymanjohn Posted October 12, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I live where you can see the cruise ships and they are really cutting back on time in port right now. Most up anchor about 3pm but we had a couple that left even earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING THAT EXCURSION BECAUSE MY GRANDSON WANTS TO GO TO THE TURTLE FARM. IS 1 HR ENOUGH TIME TO SPEND THERE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilltopfamily Posted October 14, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Also wondering if length of time at turtle farm is sufficient for kids? thinking of renting a car and driving ourselves to turtle farm, hell, and off to 7 mile beach. but now you've got me thinking about the carnival excursion. hmmmmm...any thoughts?
